"Wetland Management and Valuation: The Sundarbans perspective for participatory forestry" Summary Of the Book: The emergence of community-based forestry management is very common for forest policies in the developing world. Thus, the search for traditional forest bureaucracy of state monopoly and top-down approaches over wetland management need to be critically analyzed as they have become progressively ineffective to stop the depletion. This book is a revised form of the Masters dissertation done in the University of Bradford, UK in 1999-2000. It is hoped that this book should provide serious students of development studies and other social sciences with basic ideas on contemporary issues of forest management.
